At the time this post was published, the first weekend of Coachella 2024 is mere hours away from kicking off. For those attending Day 1 of the big event, an important piece of information to know is when the festival actually starts, so you don’t show up too early and have to wait, or show up too late and miss something that would have been cool to see or do.

So, here’s what to know about the start of the Coachella schedule for Friday, April 12.

What Time Does Coachella 2024 Start On Friday?

According to the official schedule from the Coachella website, the gates to get into the festival open at 1 p.m. PT. So, don’t expect to show up any earlier than that and start roaming the fest grounds.

As for when the artists start performing, Doom Dave and Keyspan will open the day with their performances right when the gates open at 1. The first artist to take the main Coachella Stage will be Record Safari at 3:40.

Leading the Coachella 2024 lineup for Day 1 are Lana Del Rey, Peso Pluma, Lil Uzi Vert, Sabrina Carpenter, Justice, Deftones, Suki Waterhouse, Hatsune Miku, Brittany Howard, Chappell Roan, Tinashe, Faye Webster, The Japanese House, Bizarrap, and Skepta.

What Songs Can You Expect Tyler The Creator To Perform At Coachella 2024?

With Coachella kicking off just about a day from this writing, you might be looking to get familiar with the works of the headlining acts, Doja Cat, Lana Del Rey, No Doubt, and Tyler The Creator. While you can learn more about what songs the latter might be performing right here, you can click the others’ names to see their potential setlists.

So, what songs will Tyler The Creator be performing?

While there’s no way to know for sure until he’s actually onstage, we do know he won’t be performing any songs from his new album — because he doesn’t have one coming (yet). At least, that’s what he says, but you know Tyler… always looking to surprise his fans.

So, we can look to his most recent festival performance — at last year’s excellect Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival — for some clues. You can check out that full setlist here.

Naturally, that setlist was dominated in large part by Tyler’s most recent album, Call Me If You Get Lost, with performances of “WUSYANAME,” “LUMBERJACK,” and “DOGTOOTH.” Meanwhile, fan favorites from across his career popped up in the set, with early breakout “Yonkers,” fan-favorite “IFHY,” and “Tamale” filling out the midpoint. Of course, his critical darlings Flower Boy and Igor were both well-represented, with examples from each making up the remainder. I wouldn’t be surprised if he performs “See You Again,” “Earfquake,” and “New Magic Wand,” which were some of the standouts from those albums.

We’ll find out on Saturday at 11:40pm. For more set times, click here.

What Songs Can You Expect Doja Cat To Perform At Coachella 2024?

First of all, always expect the unexpected with Doja Cat. Predicting Doja Cat’s Coachella 2024 setlist seems like a losing exercise, but it’s worth a try. A few details are confirmed as fact: Doja Cat will headline on Sunday, April 14, and Sunday, April 21; Coachella 2024 headliners also include Lana Del Rey and Tyler The Creator; Coachella 2024 will pump out so many headlines over the next two weeks.

Beyond that, who knows what’s about to happen at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California?

What Songs Can You Expect Doja Cat To Perform At Coachella 2024?

All that said, we can form a solid hypothesis because Doja staged her headlining Scarlet Tour last year. It would make sense for Doja to at least pull from her Scarlet Tour setlist because Scarlet is her most recent album — and it would make a ton of sense for her to use the Coachella stage to debut live performances of Scarlet deluxe album songs, such as “MASC” featuring Teezo Touchdown. Maybe she brings out SZA as a surprise guest for “Say So”? Post Malone for “I Like You (A Happier Song)”? Saweetie for “Best Friend”? It’s all on the board.

For a more concrete guess, check out Doja’s setlist from her Scarlet Tour stop in Chicago on December 13 below (as relayed by setlist.fm).

Doja Cat Setlist

1. “WYM Freestyle”
2. “Demons”
3. “Tia Tamera”
4. “Shutcho”
5. “Agora Hills”
6. “Attention”
7. “Often”
8. “Red Room” (Hiatus Kaiyote cover)
9. “Balut”
10. “Gun”
11. “Ain’t Sh*t”
12. “Woman”
13. “Say So”
14. “Get Into It (Yuh)”
15. “Need To Know”
16. “Paint The Town Red”
17. “Streets”
18. “F*ck The Girls (FTG)”
19. “97”
20. “Can’t Wait”
21. “Ouchies”
22. “Wet Vagina”

Every music fan is looking forward to Coachella, which kicks off the first weekend of its 2024 iteration this Friday (April 12). But not everyone has Coachella money. And those who have experienced the festival know that a weekend at Coachella will break the bank. Not to mention, the crowds and the blistering heat can make for a dealbreaker.

Fortunately, if you are unable to make the festival, there are many ways fans can tune in from the comfort of their own homes. And thankfully, this comes at no additional cost to those with a smartphone, tablet, computer, and internet connection.

How Do I Watch Coachella 2024 Online?

Fans can livestream Coachella performances via YouTube. All six stages will have their own livestream feed.

If you aren’t able to tune into the performances in real-time, the Coachella YouTube channel will repeat the livestream line-up from each day following the final set of the night. The re-run will play until the next day, when the following day’s performances will be livestreamed. Following Coachella, festival highlights will also be available on demand.

You can watch the live feeds below for each of the six stages — Coachella, Outdoor Theatre, Sahara, Mojave, Gobi, and Sonora.

Festival season is upon us, and music lovers everywhere are celebrating — both in the real world and in the online world. This week, Coachella has partnered with Fortnite to bring virtual stages to the games.

“In our pursuit to bring Coachella to a broader online audience, we’re activating across Fortnite and the Epic Games ecosystem to create new in-game music experiences that allow online fans to get closer to the festival than ever before,” said Sam Schoonover, Innovation Lead for Coachella in a statement. “This partnership enables us to expand the festival virtually in ways that aren’t possible anywhere else, making Coachella more accessible to fans around the globe.”

As Coachella inches closer and closer, fans of Fortnite are looking forward to playing on the virtual Coachella stages. And with the celebration comes a new set of skins.

When can you buy the new Fortnite Coachella skins?

Fans can purchase two new Coachella-themed Fortnite skins, Horizon and Cosma, beginning Thursday (April 11) at 8 p.m. EST, until Saturday (April 20). The two skins are astronaut-inspired and designed to “bring back memories of floating in space with the Interstellar Butterfly Back Bling and carry the beat across the universe with the Coachella Pulse Pickaxe.”

Also available for purchase in the Fortnite store will be an Interstellar Butterfly Back Bling, a Coachella Pulse Pickaxe, and a Soft Synth Wrap — all of which are designed to react to music.

Coachella 2024 is just a few days away, and to celebrate, the video game Fortnite is getting in on the festivities. Players will get to experience a virtual rendering of the festival in the game, allowing them to participate even if they can’t physically go.

This year, Fortnite is introducing some new outfit options as well for players. Here’s what to know.

What Are The New Fortnite Coachella Skins?

Two new outfits, Horizon and Cosma, will be available in the Fortnite shop starting Thursday, April 11 at 8 p.m. ET until Saturday, April 20 at the same time. Both are astronaut suits — a reference to Coachella’s mascot. The Fortnite site also notes that players can get an Interstellar Butterfly Back Bling, a Coachella Pulse Pickaxe, and a Soft Synth Wrap. These items are all reactive to music. (Fortnite is also offering LEGO versions, but these would not be music-connected.)

Doja Cat and Sabrina Carpenter’s songs will be joining Fortnite, which fans can use as danceable emotes.

Last, but certainly not least, J Balvin will be back on Fortnite. In honor of his Coachella performance, his Inferno Skeleton Balvin Outfit will be available on the game’s store starting on Thursday, April 18 at 8 p.m. ET.

Reneé Rapp And Tyler The Creator Will Have Merch Mystery Boxes At Coachella For AmEx Cardholders

With Coachella just around the corner, as the California festival starts later this week, American Express will be treating its cardholders to some special surprises while they’re there. Those with a card can bring up to three guests into the Amex Experience, which has four different immersive rooms. One of the spaces is themed to Reneé Rapp‘s album, Snow Angel, as she’s performing at the fest. The rest include a “retro snack bar,” a “bustling night market,” and a calming “cave-like room,” according to a release.

The perks don’t end there, though. Cardholders will be able to access exclusive merch at Coachella through a new merch-to-go window. This year, there will be mystery boxes of merch from Rapp and Tyler The Creator, which could include anything from hats to larger items like sweatshirts. Tyler The Creator’s merch can also be found at the Coachella Artist Merch Tent or the Golf Wang pop-up one.

Last, but certainly not least, American Express is partnering with In Your Dreams to provide festival attendees with complimentary glam services, whether you’re looking for hair help or some cool makeup.

Some of these same experiences, including the non-alcoholic bar, will also be available for those heading to Stagecoach instead of Coachella. They just will have a different spin on it. More information about Coachella 2024 can be found here.

88rising Will Again Showcase Asian Talent At Coachella With A Medley Performance Including Atarashii Gakko!, Awich, And More

For the second year, the Asian-focused media company 88rising will bring a medley showcase of its label’s talent to Coachella. After putting on a smaller version of its Head In The Clouds Festival at Coachella in 2022, the collective is once again headed to Indio for “88rising Futures.” This time, 88rising will present a new lineup consisting of J-pop crews Atarashii Gakko!, Number_i, and Yoasobi, Japanese rapper Awich, Korean-American rapper Tiger JK, Chinese singer Xin Liu, and Korean rapper Yoonmirae. Meanwhile, Atarashii Gakko! and Yoasobi will also have their own individual sets.

At 2022’s “Head in the Clouds Forever” performance, 88rising introduced the Coachella audience to the label’s mainstays Jackson Wang, Rich Brian, and NIKI, while also putting on K-pop pioneers 2NE1, J-pop icon Hikaru Utada, and South Korean rap sensation CL. After that, the bar has certainly been raised, but given the collective’s consistent improvement of the Head In The Clouds Festival, there’s little doubt this year’s set will be just as impressive — if not more so.

In a press release for the performance, the 88rising stars expressed their excitement for the one-of-a-kind opportunity. As Atarashii Gakko! put it, “We are so proud to be able to represent Japanese culture at the most prestigious festival in the U.S. We have prepared a special performance that transcends language barriers and is exclusive to Coachella. We will make sure to have the most fun as a representative of Japan’s youth scene!”
